1. You Can Count On Me


D      G
Know you can count on me
D      G
Know you can count on me
D      G
Know you can count on me
  G   D   A
To get so up for it

D      G
Know you can count on me
D      G
Know you can count on me
D      G
Know you can count on me
  G   D   A
To get so up for it

D      G
Know you can count on me
   G   D   A
I'll be so up for it
G    A     Bm(7)
Know at least I'll try

Bm   D         G
Who are you if you're not up for it
A7           Bm   F#m
When are you if I'm not up for it
G    A   Bm   D
Want to put a bubble round you
    G
Like a force field switch
A7           Bm   F#m
Keep you secure just a little bit
G   A   Bm   D        G
But I know a secret child is just a silly trick
A7            Bm     F#m
Who grows up to lose that force field switch
G  A    Bm    D         G
In between a hands on and a hands off apprenticeship
A7            Bm   F#m
Where are you if I'm not up for it
     G   A
I'll wake up for it

D      G
Know you can count on me
D      G
Know you can count on me
D      G
Know you can count on me
  G   D   A
To get so up for it


D      G
Know you can count on me
   G   D   A
I'll be so up for it
G    A     Bm(7)
Know at least I'll try

4. Surfer's Hymn

B

B       E  B     F#   B
When there are hard times I'll step it up
        E     B     F#    B
When there are dangerous times I'll spot them up
       E    B    F#   B
I'll take my time to make up my own mind
  E   C#/F         B    Ebm  C#m  B
To set it up when the times are calling for a steady creed

     E  B  F#
How do I know it's time?
    E  B  F#
Even if I've got mine
       E  B F#  E  Abm F# Abm
'Cause if the wise do know what wis dom is
  Abm   B   F#  E     B   F#
If I could err on every good side every time

  B   F#
Out on the water
  E     F#7
A rider can ready
    B        F#
Though waves comes crashing
    E     F#7
A good board can steady
 B              F#       E       F#7
I wouldn't ever want to bet upon the balance on what's going on
   B    F#    E    F#7
Would I? Would I? Would I? Would I?

B

B
Stay
       C#m
What's in my way?
       B
What's in my way?
              F#7
Got to have it to get over it
B
Stay
       C#m
What's in my way?
       B
What's in my way?
              F#7
Got to have it to get over it
B
Stay
       C#m
What's in my way?
       B
What's in my way?
              F#7
Got to have it to get over it

B

B     E   B    F#   B
To have an empty fortune when I fear
     E   B    F#   B
To have a deadly weapon, as it's called
      E   B  F#    B    E
Which is an answer to a challenge made by anything
C#/F      B     Ebm     C#m   B
Then to always know just what things violence needs

How do I know its time?
Even if I got mine
'Cause if the wise do know what wisdom is
If I could err on every good side every time

Out on the water
A rider can ready
Though waves comes crashing
A good board can steady
I wouldn't ever want to bet upon the balance on what's going on
Would I? Would I? Would I? Would I?

F#7    B
Why wouldn I?

A|-4-|

I see it up ahead
I've seen it all behind
I see it at the sides
Though I've no point to try

But if I could do
Then what I would do to you

I see it in the day
I see it in the night
I see it all the time
Though I might not desire

But if I could do
Then what I would do to you

E

E               D
I always thought that I'd move further from
E      D      C      G  F    C
Further and further and further and even further from
  G  F   Bb     Ab
The very people closest to me
G   F Eb C F
Seems it in daydreams

  F      Eb
And like so many other things
  F
It happened
    Eb
Slowly happened
    C#
Slowly happened
  Ab   F#   C#   Ab    F#    B   A
And without notice I've become someone who's out of reach
Ab F# E  C# F#
I'm as much to blame

F#

F#         E          F#
But I don't want to sound as though I'm wishing
    E
Always wanting
    D
Always hoping
 A    G    D    A   G
I had not made the choices I have made
    C     Bb
Because what's in that?
A  G F
One is gained
D  G
One lost

G             F
And still to say I've made grave mistakes
  G     F     Eb
And every upon every upon every
 Bb   Ab    Eb    Bb     Ab   C#   B
I think about and hope it's all worked out to either end
Bb  Ab
What acts
F#  E
What cost

E

E             D       F#m  A
Cannot be destroyed with a friend's ring at the side
C   Bm  Am    C     G     F
Don't break ties that hold them round the ring
E             D       F#m  A
Cannot be destroyed with a friend's ring at the side
C   Bm  Am    C     G     F
